Christmas – Man’s
Birth as God, Three
One day you will discover that God - the Father who became
you - has completed his work. And because he was God when he became you, when
his work is complete you will become
aware that you are God. There is only one way to know this for a fact, and
that is when God's son, David, stands before you and reveals you as his father.
Then the temple of the Living God - which is spirit -is split in two, and you
ascend into heaven as a fiery serpent. And finally, the symbol of the Holy
Spirit in the form of a dove descends, and - clothing you with Himself - once more sends you back into this world,
to tell your story to those who will listen.
This gentleman had a wonderful dream. He may some day devise
a plan that Western Airlines will use to ease the boarding congestion, but that
was not the message of the dream. He is
departing this world of Caesar. Having already had these experiences, he
has forgotten them. But he will remember and know that when the time comes for him to depart this little section of time, he
will not be restored to life, but will enter the New Age. Being one with
the body of God he will know no restrictions, only the complete freedom of
being God the Father.
Having entered the
world, God the Father of all life incarnated himself in your flesh and blood
body as the son. When God's work is complete, He will depart this body and
return to his heavenly body as the Father, redeeming you. This is the way to redemption, and there is no other way.
Although the words, "I and my father are one, yet my
father is greater than I" appear to be contradictory, they are true. When I - the awareness - take on the
limitation of flesh, I am aware of limitation. Finding myself in the form
of a slave, I become obedient until
death upon the cross called Man, where I remain as God, restricted by my
incarnation. Then a predetermined plan erupts and delivers me from my
self-imprisonment, and I return to the being I was - but now enhanced because of my self-imposed restriction. Then I can
say with Paul: "I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I
have kept the faith. Now there is laid up for me the laurel leaf - the crown of
righteousness."
I am reminded of a story told of Charles William Eliot, who
- when he retired as president of Harvard
University - was given a gift by an
old friend in Boston
Coming out from the
awareness of being God the Father, you came into the world, becoming aware of
being Man. Man.
God comes into the
world by assuming human form. He incarnates himself at the birth of a child in
order for it to breathe. While here God goes through literal hell, because
his life does not end with the grave. Making his exit from this world of death,
God is restored to life to continue the
journey; to die and be restored once more, over and over again, until he finds
this series of supernatural events which leads God to his home - and Christmas.
Christmas marks the
birth of man as God, not the birth of God as man. There is all the
difference in the world. Matthew and Luke tell the story of the birth, not as a
little physical child, but as a sign of
an individual's birth as God, for God is born that day in the city of David
When God is born in you it will be in the city of David
